    Hey is there a way to capture video from an Acer Aspire 5920 webcam (or similar model, whatever)?

    I guess it can only stream video and take still pictures... but is there some program that would allow you to record the video?

    Hi,
    you can try c:\windows\SUYIN NB Cam\LiweCam.exe. This prog free capture program for acer notebook. If your webcam is Bison, directory must be BisonCam.

    this is easy - tho at first i thought just like you.
    open acer arcade deluxe and choose DV wizard. then click 'webcam' and there you go! they save in the window gallery.

    I'M GONNA JUMP!!!!!
    (ahem) I have an Acer Aspire 5520-5290 With Acer Crystal Eye webcam (and Sony Video Capture 6).
    When I use Video Capture on my Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8 I get tremendous scratching and popping audio and the video says theres an error and won't record.
    Is it possible to record to Vegas 8 from webcam?
